It's healthier to have ingredients locally grown. It's also better for the environment, because airplanes emit greenhouse gases and contribute to global dimming and global warming. So why do companies ship ingredients?

I have geothermal heating and cooling. Now, when we bought the house they told us the best thing to do is leave the a/c on auto, keep windows doors closed and leave the temperature alone. When you adjust it and turn it on and off, you are making it work harder to get back up or down to the right temp. SO this is what Ive been doing. Seems to work well, keeps costs low. Do you agree or should I try opening the windows on cooler days?

Seriously?

Every time I use one - even if it's just liquid & tp, I have to flush and flush and flush.

Most of the buildings with these toilets have signs even that ask you to keep flushing until everything is gone.

How in the heck does this save water?

yes this is a crazy idea and im betting 9 out of 10 people will try and make jokes about it, but anyways here it is. ice melting into the ocean is a problem, as it would flood a lot of land in the ocean with its 250 foot higher ocean increase.

in popular mechanics theres something in development to launch all sorts of things into space for astronauts and space construction for things like satelites. i forget exactly how it works entirely, but it looks like a giant spiral, and has something to do with magnets. anyways, the longer they make it the faster they can make the objects travel so they can shoot them into space. the blueprints for the one was expected to be made within the next 5 or 10 years and was powerful enough to shoot things into space, with speeds of 7 miles per second.

so my idea is this, someway to transport water to the tube constantly to be shot into space. i doubt water would make it as far so maybe a cheap way to contain it for the launch. just a crazy idea....

This was a question from a high school science text book. The answer they gave was claimed to be scientific, but was actually propaganda for evolution and was improper scientific methodology. They claimed that since the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago, long before man appeared, these human bones could not have existed with the dinosaurs. You cannot prove a fact using a theory, you must use facts. What if the human bones were co-existent with the dinosaurs. This method would overlook this possability. An amazing discovery would go unrecognized. So how should a true scientist approach this discovery.

Now you might think I'm kinda dumb should I say because of where I got this from, but I was watching the Fresh Prince of Belair I think yeserday and when will pulled out his father's old sweather, it was big and he said "well, why don't we just throw this up in sky and cover the hole in the ozone layer" or something like that. So is there really a hole in the Ozone layer?? If so why is it there or how did it get there and where is it if it's at a certain spot??

Yesterday , while walking through a field , I found a rather large leg bone of some kind of animal . And no , it's not human. . . far too big and thick . It's an animal bone that was so heavy, proportionately , that at first I thought it was concrete . After checking , it's not , it's real . I can see the tell-tale network of holes inside it and marrow area .
Funny thing is , we don't have any native animals that would have bones that big .
Who do I call for assistance in identifying this bone ?
